Evolution: sociality as a driver of unorthodox reproduction.

Tanja Schwander1, Laurent Keller.   

Abstract

An unusual reproductive system was discovered in desert ants, in which daughter queens are produced asexually via parthenogenesis, whereas workers develop from hybrid crosses between genetically divergent lineages. The system appears to be doomed to extinction.
